A fan has paid a whopping USD 8,500 to go for a coffee with Hollywood icon Robert De Niro.

The Raging Bull star offered up an outing to a coffee shop as a lot for a star-studded charity auction in New York and an unnamed bidder pounced on the prize and paid thousands of dollars for a meeting with the movie star, New York Daily News reported.

The sale, which raised money for the Robert F Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights, also saw a pair of tickets to Sir Elton John's next Oscars party auctioned for USD 52,500.

A visit to the set of hit TV show 'Mad Men' sold for USD 24,000 and a fedora hat worn by Harrison Ford in the Indiana Jones movie series fetched USD 19,500.
